1. Create a configurable product with 1 or more associated (simple) products
2. Set the configurable product, as well as the associated product's, Manage Stock flag to No.
3. Open up the associated product, and then save it (without making any changes)
4. Magento will remove the link for it in Layered Navigation on the frontend.

*** After doing some research, this has to do with _beforeSave() in CatalogInventory/Model/Stock/Item.php on the following lines:

if ($this->getBackorders() == Mage_CatalogInventory_Model_Stock::BACKORDERS_NO
&& $this->getQty() <= $this->getMinQty()) {
if(!$this->getProduct() || !$this->getProduct()->isComposite()) {
$this->setIsInStock(false);
}
}

getBackorders() will always return false for products which do not have manage stock set to yes, and so is_in_stock will be set to false. However this causes Layered Navigation's plainReindex() to withhold this product from reindexing.
